javascript assistance

Hello y'all.

I've encountered a problem in a mod i'm making on my site to allow users to paste code into their forum messages using htmlarea and fckeditor.

I have the popup box working and pasting the code into the editor all fine. the issue I'm having is that both htmlarea and fckeditor replace the /n carraiage return  chr(13) with a <br /> tag.

now this is fine.  but as soon as i run the code section through server.htmlencode all the formatting is lost and theres <br /> tags all the way through the displayed code snippet.

so what i'm trying to do is to replace the carriage return with a custom tag.  which I will convert back into the carriage return on the thread view page.

so.. my plea for help.

anyone know a javascript fucntion that can find and replace the carriage return keys from a string?
